Final Rockin' Running Club Practice/Party for the Season: April 3, 3-3:45
Please bring your wheels (bikes, scooters, etc.) as we ride into Spring! All students must have safety equipment (helmet) in order to participate with wheels. If you prefer to walk/jog, that is great too.

Jump Rope for Heart gifts are here. Students who donated to the AHA will receive the thank you gifts over the next week during the regular PE class. Thank you again for making a difference in the fight against heart disease. OUES raised over $8000!

Current Unit: Gymnastics-tumbling skills
Over the next few weeks, please try to wear soft clothing that stretches easily, as well as longer shorts and shirts for going upside down.

FitnessGram Update: All tests are completed. The final report and explanation of your child's assessment will appear in the last report card at the end of the school year.

If you ever have a question regarding your child's grade in physical education, I would love to speak with you to clarify any concerns. Because the students do all of their "work" and performance here in class at school, I understand it is sometimes hard to know where the grade is coming from. The district handbook explains the grading policy that we do abide by, including the conduct. Effort/participation as well as the ability to follow directions/cooperate with others in a group setting are greatly emphasized.

It has been an outstanding year, and I love working with your children each day. I consider it a blessing and privilege to teach at OUES! Get out and enjoy some exercise in this beautiful spring weather.
